Settings part ============= In WordprocessingML, document-level settings are defined in the `settings.xml` part. There are 98 distinct settings, all of which are optional (according to the spec at least). The API does not provide for direct access to the settings part. A |Settings| proxy object is available on the :attr:`.Document.settings` property and provides access to the document-level settings. The |Document| object obtains access via its document part. |DocumentPart| brokers all access to the settings part.
